Honestly the first time I've thought about buying a game just because all the racists and misogynists hate it lmao
This is actually the first time I find myself interested in this series in a long time. Sengoku period Japan feels like a great setting for an Assassin's Creed game and the fact that bigots hate it is just the cherry on top.
As much as these AC RPGs get hate, I found Odyssey awesome. If they don't go too hard into the "grind before continuing main story" thing, Shadows could be pretty good too.
I too would buy a shitty game that will stop working due to drm in some short time to own the ~~libs~~ racists!
Relax, I've played the previous entries and found them interesting. The 8 year old Origins title hasn't stopped working yet. Have any of the older ones?
I haven't bought the last few, but loved Odyssey and even found the dreary miserable deserts of Origins somewhat of a cool setting. Sengoku era Japan is also a great setting so I'm anticipating a game with many flaws that will be frustrating, but fun.
There’s a solid chance Ubisoft goes bankrupt and all the drm required games go down at the same time. They also have a terrible track record with opening games up to keep them alive past their service life.
There's a conspiracy theory that the Guillemot family (with the help from Tencent) is looking to turn Ubisoft private and for that they need to tank the stock.
I'm not saying it will happen but it's something that also explains their business decisions.
Its a good thing its never been hard to break their DRM.
